Gilles Sadowski created LANG-1605:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Deprecate the "RandomStringUtils" class
Key: LANG-1605
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1605
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Gilles Sadowski
Fix For: 4.0
The [Commons Text|http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-text/] component
contains
[utilities|https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-text.git;a=blob;f=src/main/java/org/apache/commons/text/RandomStringGenerator.java;h=d8e38e4614dba548ef764225b87626f3a4cda434;hb=HEAD]
that overlap with class
[RandomStringUtils|https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-lang.git;a=blob;f=src/main/java/org/apache/commons/lang3/RandomStringUtils.java;h=0d6df4eed0d91bbd32ad378c28400fdf049ee542;hb=HEAD]
in [Lang].
Duplication could be avoided by moving possibly missing functionality from
[Lang] to [Text]. The additional bonus is that [Text] allows for choosing the
source of randomness, while [Lang] uses the (weak and slow)
{{java.util.Random}} class.
